Title: System and method for treating infectious waste matter
Inventor: KAYE GORDON I
IPC: A61L11/00
Filed: 2001-01-24
Granted: 2004-06-10
Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a system and method is provided for producing a safely disposable end product from waste matter containing undesirable materials, such as infectious, biohazardous, hazardous, or radioactive elements. The method comprises the steps of providing a highly basic solvent, immersing the waste matter containing the undesirable materials within the highly basic solvent, and heating the solvent. The waste matter containing the undesirable materials is allowed to remain within the solvent until digested, thereby forming a solution void of any infectious or biohazardous elements and/or containing a concentration of radioisotope below the maximum permissible concentration (MPC) for release to a sanitary sewer as defined in applicable federal regulations for the waste matter containing such materials. The system includes a tank or vessel (12) capable of containing a highly basic solvent during a closed digestion reaction, heating means (30) for heating the solvent within the vessel, filtering means (40), and means (41) for removing the post-digestion aqueous solution and solid waste materials from within the vessel (12). The post-digestion product in both aqueous and solid form can then by disposed of by conventional means.

Title: Powerline data network filter
Inventor: WILLER BERND
IPC: H04B3/54
Filed: 2000-04-03
Granted: 2004-05-06
Abstract: A power line filter connected to single-phase power lines (110-230 VAC, 50-60 Hz) enables transmission of HomePNA-type home network signals between network nodes connected to the main power lines as a network medium. The filter includes fuse resistors (R1, R2) that limit the current from the main power line, a transit diode circuit that clamps the bolts to a prescribed limit, eliminating energy that may be present in main power spikes. A pair of X2-type capacitors pass the 1 MHz or higher HomePNA signals, while rejecting the 50-60 Hz main power signal. A choke-type inductor eliminates any residual high voltage signals in the 50-60 Hz range by short circuiting the power signals, while maintaining a high impedance at the 1 MHz range, enabling the HomePNA signals to be safely passed to the RJ-11 connector of a physical layer transceiver of the Home Network Node.
